By C.S. Lightfoot

National Museums Scotland has one of the most comprehensive collections of ancient glass in Britain. The objects include vessels and utensils that range in date from the Late Bronze Age to the Middle Ages, thus spanning more than two millennia of glassmaking. All four of the major techniques, core-forming, casting, blowing, and mold-blowing, are represented, and the different ways in which the glass was decorated and used are described. This book is the first comprehensive catalog of a major public collection of ancient glass in Britain.
